Im looking to get a PDA

[evildead]

Im looking to get a PDA. I really like the Sony ones. They are slim and look very nice. Almost as nice as an Apple one would look :) Has anyone used them before? What are your thoughts on them? I also like the Sharp one that run Linux but its a bit expensive for me. I would love to beabe to use the terminal in it... and connect via serial port or something... but I just cant justify spending $500.00 on an organizer.

I recently got a Sony S360. A basic PalmOS unit. It's pretty nice. Sadly, most Sony's will not sync with Mac without the use of The Missing Sync (http://www.markspace.com/missingsync.html). But with that add on software, they work well. OS X syncing will be supported one month after the release of the final Palm Desktop for OS X.

I like this unit becuase it has a real backlight--not one of those reverse backlights like the Palm and Handspring units.

wait for the apple version!!

:D

You know... I would love to get one... but its just not comming out. I am really hopping that Apple would bring back the Newton better than ever .... but sadly... I dont see it happening any time soon. Maybe Palm and Apple will work together on a project. That would be kind of cool.

I guess I frogot what side of the camp you were on when it came to the Apple PDA. Some people still think that its going to happen.

I have heard some good things about the sony's arround the office. Mybe I will pick one up after all. I need to get a new HD... so maybe I will wait till after that.

Thanks for the input blakespot

I proudly count myself among those who think it will only be a question of when, and not if, Apple releases a PDA (or some iteration thereof).

I think they ignore this vital element of the digital lifestyle to the detriment of themselves and those of us committed to the Mac platform.

Evil...you'll soon experience a PDA as done by someone other than Apple. Perhaps then you'll understand the dissapointment of those who need such functionality done well.
